Stinkin' fish, fat lip, crayons and a diet

I went to feed the fish this morning and as I was peering over the top to make sure I don't put too much food in, they splashed me right in the face!!! They've splashed me before but not right in the face. And I wasn't even late in feeding them. They are just turning into fatties and want their breakfast, I guess. Stinkers!!

Then, as I was pushing the girls on their swings, I got distracted and Jordyn's foot connected with my lip and front teeth! It was totally my fault and it is a cute little chubby foot so all is forgotten;-)

I have also relearned the lesson of not putting crayons outside when it's over 100 degrees outside. In my defense, the house was providing some nice shade when we were coloring!! But I just didn't think about it and left them out there all afternoon. This is what we found when we came out to play after naps. A big fat yucky mess!! Makenna is totally upset about it but I just keep telling her that we have tons more crayons in the drawer.

And finally, I officially started my diet again. I really don't want to because I just love food. I've been exercising like crazy and while I can tell my muscles are changing, I still have a layer of fat over those nice muscles. And with summer around the corner and our trip in two months, I wanted to be able to show those nice muscles. I also wanted to give myself more of a reason to do it too. I figured if I wrote it down for everyone to see, then it might give me more of an incentive to do it. I guess we shall find out!!

Our poor fish

Too bad fish can't talk. I rush around in the morning trying to get myself ready and then my two girls dressed and fed. I also run around trying to clean or organize. Next in line is Lady, our dog. She's usually pretty patient but she will let me know if I forget about her. We have her food in the laundry room and if she is hungry and we haven't gotten to her yet, she will remind us by hitting the door stop. It's her way of telling us she is hungry or thirsty and she is tired of waiting. So cute and funny but also annoying sometimes because she won't stop hitting it until we have taken care of things. But our poor fish can't talk or hit a door stop. All they can do is wiggle around like crazy when I walk by them. Well this morning I was really busy trying to get ready for the day and Makenna and Jordyn dressed and fed before the bug guy came. It was the first time so he had to come spray inside. I was also running around trying to straighten up the house. I don't know this guy from Adam but I still hate people coming into my house when it's a mess. Besides, he needed to have clear spaces to spray. Anyway, I walked by our fish tank a couple of times but kept thinking, I'll feed you in a minute after I do this and after I do that. Well, I forgot and didn't remember until that afternoon after a trip to Walmart. They were wiggling around like crazy in there. I told them I was sorry and finally fed them and they thanked me by splashing my with water while going after their food. I deserved it. I made them wait. Too bad the poor fish can't ring a bell or something to remind me. O-well. They got fed eventually.
